2 The Angelus to be prayed daily at the hours of 6am, noon, & 6pm The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary: Response: And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Response: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Response: Be it done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary... And the Word was made Flesh: Response: And dwelt among us. Hail Mary... Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, Response: that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. 1

6 PRAYER AT ST. FRANCIS XAVIER STATUE O Deus, Ego Amo Te - St. Francis Xavier O God, I love thee, I love thee Not out of hope of heaven for me Nor fearing not to love and be In the everlasting burning. Thou, thou, my Jesus, after me Didst reach thine arms out dying, For my sake sufferedst nails and lance, Mocked and marred countenance, Sorrows passing number, Sweat and care and cumber, Yea and death, and this for me, And thou couldst see me sinning; Then I, why should not I love thee, Jesus, so much in love with me? Not for heaven s sake; not to be Out of hell by loving thee; Not for any gains I see; But just the way that thou didst me I do love and I will love thee: What must I love thee, Lord, for then? For being my king and God. Amen. Translated by Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J. 5

7 SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2018 GETTING READY FOR YOUR DAY: 1. Wear nice clothes for Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe. You will put those clothes back on for Dave and Buster s in the evening. 2. Day Bag: Pack your Pilgrim Manual, bathing costume, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, any spending money you will need at Schlitterbahn. 3. Overnight Bag: Pack all your things in your bag and place them near the bleachers in the gym. OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE Patroness of the Americas In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a humble Native American at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of what is now Mexico City. She identified herself as the ever virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all things, Lord of heaven and the earth. She made a request for a church to be built on the site, and submitted her wish to the local Bishop. When the Bishop hesitated, and requested her for a sign, the Mother of God obeyed without delay or question, sending her native 6

8 messenger to the top of the hill in mid-december to gather an assortment of roses for the Bishop. After complying to the Bishop's request for a sign, she also left for us an image of herself imprinted miraculously on the native's tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 475 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin. It apparently even reflects in her eyes what was in front of her in There is reason to believe that at Tepeyac Mary came in her glorified body, and her actual physical hands rearranged the roses in Juan Diego s tilma, which makes this apparition very special. An incredible list of miracles, cures and interventions are attributed to her. Yearly, an estimated 10 million visit her Basilica, making her Mexico City home the most popular Marian shrine in the world, and the most visited Catholic Church in the world next to the Vatican. Altogether 25 popes have officially honored Our Lady of Guadalupe. His Holiness John Paul II visited her Sanctuary four times: on his first apostolic trip outside Rome as Pope in 1979, and again in 1990, 1999 and The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12th. In 1999, Pope John Paul II, in his homily from the Solemn Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, during his third visit to the sanctuary, declared the date of December the 12th as a Liturgical Holy Day for the whole continent. During the same visit Pope John Paul II entrusted the cause of life to her loving protection, and placed under her motherly care the innocent lives of children, especially those who are in danger of not being born. 7

9 GETTING READY FOR YOUR DAY: SUNDAY, MAY 27, Overnight bag: Pack everything you brought with you in your bag. We will not return to the gym tonight before going back to New Orleans. Bags should be stowed under the bus before you board. 2. Day Bag: Pack your rosary, sunscreen, sunglasses, spending money for Six Flags, and anything you ll need for the overnight bus ride (sleeping bag and pillow, etc.) SAN FERNANDO CATHEDRAL San Fernando Cathedral was founded in 1731 and is the oldest, continuously functioning religious community in the State of Texas. The Cathedral building has the added distinction of being the oldest standing church building in Texas, and for all of its more than 275 years, has been serving the people of the Archdiocese and San Antonio. For almost 90 years, San Fernando served as the church for all of the religious denominations of San Antonio as the Catholic Church was the only recognized religion of the Spanish and Mexican governments prior to Texas' independence. San Fernando has become more than the geographic center; it has become an ecumenical, cultural, civic, and service center of San Antonio. San Fernando serves as a refuge for many of the poor in this area who come for help and trust their needs will be met. As the first church in the city, San Fernando has a rich history of responding to the people's needs in and around the church. 8

10 HISTORY OF THE SAN ANTONIO CATHOLIC SPANISH MISSIONS The chain of missions established along the San Antonio River in the 18th century are reminders of one of Spain's most successful attempts to extend its New World dominion northward from Mexico. They were the greatest concentration of Catholic missions in North America. While tales of riches, such as those of the fabled region of Gran Quivira, spurred the conquistadors' advance across the Rio Grande, encounters with the Tejas Indians, for whom Texas was named, provided even greater impetus for Spain's colonization of its northern borderlands. The mission served to introduce native inhabitants into Spanish society. Catholicism, the very fiber of Spanish culture, was an assertive, nationalistic religion controlled and subsidized by the Crown. As an arm to the church, the mission was the vanguard for the spiritual conversion of New Spain's native inhabitants. Contrasted with the military might of the presidio, or the often self-serving policies of civil government, the mission acted as a tempering frontier influence, offering the Indians a less traumatic transition into European culture. Threatened by French encroachments from Louisiana, Spain stepped up its colonization in 1690, establishing six missions in East Texas. In need of 9

11 a way station between these and other Franciscan missions in Mexico, weary friars also founded San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo) on the San Antonio River in Abundant water and timber in this verdant valley had long attracted Spanish explorers. Noting the substantial population of Coahuiltecan Indians nearby, Fray Antonio Margil de Jesus established a second mission, San Jose, near the river in The East Texas missions succumbed to drought, malaria, and French incursions, three were relocated in the San Antonio Valley in These missions, along with their presidio and settlement were the seeds for one of the most successful Spanish communities in Texas. The missions flourished between 1745 and 1775, enjoying strong economies and peaceful coexistence between mission Indians and Spanish settlers. Later in the century increased hostility from Apaches and Comanches, coupled with inadequate military support, weakened the missions. Disease reduced the surrounding Indian population, accelerating the missions' decline. In 1824, all Texas missions were secularized, their lands redistributed among the mission Indians and the churches transferred to the secular clergy. The San Antonio missions today represent a virtually unbroken connection with the past. Bearing the distinctive stamp of generations of Indian and Spanish craftsmen, they live still as active parishes. 10

12 THE 1836 BATTLE OF THE ALAMO ON FEBRUARY 23, 1836, THE ARRIVAL OF GENERAL ANTONIO LÓPEZ DE SANTA ANNA'S ARMY OUTSIDE SAN ANTONIO NEARLY CAUGHT THEM BY SURPRISE. UNDAUNTED, THE TEXIANS AND TEJANOS PREPARED TO DEFEND THE ALAMO TOGETHER. THE DEFENDERS HELD OUT FOR 13 DAYS AGAINST SANTA ANNA'S ARMY. WILLIAM B. TRAVIS, THE COMMANDER OF THE ALAMO SENT FORTH COURIERS CARRYING PLEAS FOR HELP TO COMMUNITIES IN TEXAS. ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE SIEGE, A BAND OF 32 VOLUNTEERS FROM GONZALES ARRIVED, BRINGING THE NUMBER OF DEFENDERS TO NEARLY TWO HUNDRED. LEGEND HOLDS THAT WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL HELP FADING, COLONEL TRAVIS DREW A LINE ON THE GROUND AND ASKED ANY MAN WILLING TO STAY AND FIGHT TO STEP OVER ALL EXCEPT ONE DID. AS THE DEFENDERS SAW IT, THE ALAMO WAS THE KEY TO THE DEFENSE OF TEXAS, AND THEY WERE READY TO GIVE THEIR LIVES RATHER THAN SURRENDER THEIR POSITION TO GENERAL SANTA ANNA. AMONG THE ALAMO'S GARRISON WERE JIM BOWIE, RENOWNED KNIFE FIGHTER, AND DAVID CROCKETT, FAMED FRONTIERSMAN AND FORMER CONGRESSMAN FROM TENNESSEE. 11

13 THE FINAL ASSAULT CAME BEFORE DAYBREAK ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 6, 1836, AS COLUMNS OF MEXICAN SOLDIERS EMERGED FROM THE PREDAWN DARKNESS AND HEADED FOR THE ALAMO'S WALLS. CANNON AND SMALL ARMS FIRE FROM INSIDE THE ALAMO BEAT BACK SEVERAL ATTACKS. REGROUPING, THE MEXICANS SCALED THE WALLS AND RUSHED INTO THE COMPOUND. ONCE INSIDE, THEY TURNED A CAPTURED CANNON ON THE LONG BARRACK AND CHURCH, BLASTING OPEN THE BARRICADED DOORS. THE DESPERATE STRUGGLE CONTINUED UNTIL THE DEFENDERS WERE OVERWHELMED. BY SUNRISE, THE BATTLE HAD ENDED AND SANTA ANNA ENTERED THE ALAMO COMPOUND TO SURVEY THE SCENE OF HIS VICTORY. WHILE THE FACTS SURROUNDING THE SIEGE OF THE ALAMO CONTINUE TO BE DEBATED, THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT WHAT THE BATTLE HAS COME TO SYMBOLIZE. PEOPLE WORLDWIDE CONTINUE TO REMEMBER THE ALAMO AS A HEROIC STRUGGLE AGAINST IMPOSSIBLE ODDS A PLACE WHERE MEN MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR FREEDOM. FOR THIS REASON, THE ALAMO REMAINS HALLOWED GROUND AND THE SHRINE OF TEXAS LIBERTY. 12

14 + THE FIVE JOYFUL MYSTERIES + 1. THE ANNUNCIATION: HUMILITY In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you. But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. But Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I have no relations with a man? And the angel said to her in reply, The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God. Mary said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word. Then the angel departed from her. 2. THE VISITATION: CHARITY During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled. 3. THE BIRTH OF OUR LORD: POVERTY-DETACHMENT FROM THE WORLD In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will 13

15 find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests. 4. THE PRESENTATION OF OUR LORD: PURITY OF HEART, OBEDIENCE When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and to offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Messiah of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him, he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying: Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel. The child s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem. 5. THE FINDING OF OUR LORD IN THE TEMPLE: PIETY Each year his parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom. After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety. And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father s house? But they did not understand what he said to them. He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus advanced [in] wisdom and age and favor before God and man. 14

16 MISSION SAN JOSÉ Y SAN MIGUEL DE AGUAYO One year after Fray Antonio Margil de Jesus left the failed missions in East Texas, he founded what would become the largest and best known of the Texas missions. After early travails, San Jose prospered, its 300 inhabitants sustained by extensive fields and herds of livestock. Viewed as the model among the Texas missions, San Jose gained a reputation as a major social and cultural center. A visitor in 1777 referred to the structure as the "Queen of the Missions." So rich an enterprise was a natural target for mounted Apache and Comanche raiders. With technical help from the two or three presidial troops garrisoned there, San Jose residents learned to defend themselves. Already proficient with bow and arrow, Indians also practiced the use of guns and lances. Although they could not prevent raids on their livestock, the mission itself was almost impregnable. In his journal, Fray Juan Agustin Morfi attested to the defensive character of mission San Jose: "It is, in truth, the first mission in America...in point of beauty, plan, and strength...there is not a presidio along the entire frontier line that can compare with it." 15

17 MISSION NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA PURISIMA CONCEPCIÓN DE ACUÑA The handsome church at Concepción looks essentially as it did more than 200 years ago when it stood at the center of local religious activity. Colorful geometric designs originally covered its surface, but the patterns have long since faded. From the beginning, Mission Concepción hosted religious festivals. The friars strove to replace traditional Indian ritual through the demonstration of Christian ideals. Carvings of the saints and colorful paintings of other deities were popular visual representations of Catholicism among the Indians. Morality plays, and celebrations such as Los Pastores, a colorful drama honoring the birth of Christ, were common practice. Many Indians continued to practice the Catholic faith after secularization. Today, some members of Concepción parish are likely descended from those early converts. Original interior paintings still remain at Mission Concepción. Some are religious symbols. Others are decorative, imitating architectural elements. 16

From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever. Amen. 24

Joyful Mysteries. Pharaoh finally gives in to God s evidence and lets the Israelites leave. For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.
